Councillor Matthew Patrick, portfolio holder for environment, said: "We're coming up to the halfway point of the trial and we want to engage with the public.

"I’ve spoken to many residents and council staff these last few months and it's clear that we need to move past the three-box system.

"It doesn't have the capacity that we need for all our recycling, nor does it work well in bad weather, and we need to change that.

"Staff have visited homes taking part in the trial to offer advice and gather people's views to see where improvements can be made. This will also take place eight weeks in and when the trial is complete.

"This event will reveal the feedback from residents for the first four weeks of the trial. It also gives the community the chance to ask any questions they may have."

Councillor Patrick accompanied a team of refuse collectors on a round in Immingham last week. He said the opportunity had given him a "fantastic insight" into the collection system and how the orange bag scheme is working.

Councillor Steve Beasant, chairman of the council's overview and scrutiny committee, added: "We value the feedback of residents taking part in the weekly recycling pilot and this will help us to shape the service we provide.

"The trial will help us learn more about the rubbish people throw away or recycle."
